SIX-DAY BATTLE Japanese unvi Position Russians Form Strongly Fortified Losses Are Heavy on Sides--First Land Victory. Tokio, May 2.--Unable to resist the Japanese advance the Russians have been forced to abandon Antung. They burned the town and retreated to Feng-Huan-Cheng. The Japanese now control the es­ tuary of the Yalu. The first Japanese army, command­ ed by Gen. Kuroki, has driven the Russians along the Yalu river from their first line of defense. Victory was finally achieved after six days of desperate fighting, ending by the Japanese infantry wading In the morning Japanese field . bat­ teries with 47 guns opened a terrific fire on our position at Turenchen and on our troops posted near Potietinsky. "The overwhelming superiority of the Japanese in artillery and the heavy losses their fire inflicted on our troops occupying these positions made it clear to Gen. Sassulitch that it was impossible to hold Turenchen. Conse­ quently the troops were ordered to re­ tire from Turenchen while still hold­ ing the Potietinsky road. "When Gen.

Lieuten ant Count Mizobuchl, Paymaster Slda, Captain Yagi and others have been carried off by the Russian war ship. Action of Russians Alarms Chinese Officials. Pekin, April 30.--Russia is about to enforce martial law west of the Liao river, it is understood here. The gov­ ernment is worried, and the dowager empres has ordered the provincial governors to abandon her birthday celebration, and to use the money col­ lected for that purpose to equip 72,- 000 troops immediately. France Refuaes to Loan More Money to Ally. Paris, April 29.--t is learned that negotiations have been in progress during the past few days for floating a new Russian loan on the French market, but they have, in a measure, failed, owing to the absolute refusal of M. Rouvier, the minister of finance, to countenance another appeal being made to the French public. The map shows the location of Po- tinsa, near which place a number of Japanese transports have been seen, apparently with the purpose of effect­ ing a landing. Potinsa is on the northern shore of Korea Bay and about twelve miles east of Takuchan. It is fifty miles west of Antung and the same distance south of Feng- wangchen, both of which places are believed to be held by strong forces of Russians.. Potinsa is connected by a road with Dalny and Port Ar­ thur, being distant from the latter town 150 miles. Should the landing be made in force military critics are agreed that it would mean a serious menace to Port Arthur as well as re­ sult in a flanking movement of the present Russian position. Dispatches indicate that it is at Fengwangchen that Kouropatkin's troops are pre­ pared to make their first stubborn re­ sistance. breast deep through the Yalu and charging the Russians along a four- mile front. Enormous losses, Tokio hears, have been sustained on both sides. In the battle the Japanese losses in killed and wounded are placed at about 700, while the Russian casualties are given at exceeding 800. Twenty-eight quick-firing guns, twenty officers, and hundreds of non­ commissioned officers and men have been captured by the victors. Among the Russian wounded are Lieutenant General Zassalitch, com­ mander of the Second Siberian army corps, and Major Kashtalinsky, com­ mander of the Third East Siberian rifles brigade. In their desperate resistance the Russians made two stands, but the Japanese advance proved 'resistless. Chiu Tien Cheng, the key to the Russian position, has' been captured. The London Daily Telegraph, in an editorial, compares the importance of this capture to that of Waterloo and Plevna. It adds that it is even more serious, because the Russians have been driven from a fortified position in spite of every advantage conferred on its defense by modern weapons. "The fight," the editorial asserts, "must modify forever the destinies of Europe and Asia." Experts Speculate on Movement of Troops London, May 2.--A Japanese expert, writing in the Morning Post- on the Yalu operations, says: "It is believed that a Japanese force Is traveling by road parallel for some distance to the course of the Yalu close to the south bank, and so avoiding all need of crossing spurs of the Paik-To-Shan mountain range. They have ascended the valley as far as Maoer-Shan, and will presently be heard of in the vi­ cinity of Shing-King. The main line of the Japanese advance will doubtless be along the high road through Fung- Hoang-Cheng, but other routes are open and are pretty sure to be adopt­ ed as well, for the Manchurlan roads are often narrow and tortuous and just now are deep in mud." his telegram the Russian troops were retiring in good order from Turenchen and Schakhedzy to their second posi­ tion and the battle was continuing a£ Potietinsky and Tchin-Gu." Ingenious Devices Used to Worry the Russians Port Arthur, May 2.--Details of the demonstration off Port Arthur April 27 disclose the desperate ingenuity of the Japanese. Their squadron set afloat a string of connected rafts car­ rying burning materials. About 1:40 o'clock in the morning when five miles off shore the combustibles were fired, the wind and waves bringing the burn­ ing floats toward the harbor. Under cover of this screen of fire eight Japanese torpedo boats towing a launch filled with mines slipped around to a spot near where the Petro- pavlovsk was sunk, but they were de­ tected by Russian searchlights, when the batteries opened fire and drove them away, but not before the mines 8eventy-five Went Down to Death With Ship. Tokio, April 30.--Seventy-flve Japan­ ese were killed or drowned as a re­ sult of the sinking of the Japanese transport Kinshiu Maru, which was torpedoed by the Russian armored cruiser Rossia April 25. The Kinshiu Maru parted from the convoy of torpedo boats in a fog and met the Russian fleet. She was or­ dered to stop and the Rossia steamed alongside, summoned her navigation officers on board the Rossia and sent a searching party on board the trans­ port. This party discovered two com­ panies of soldiers concealed below and reported the fact to the Rossia. The latter discharged a torpedo which struck the Kinshiu Maru amidships and broke her in two. Three boats which floated free from the wreckage were the means of sav­ ing forty-$xe soldiers and nine of the Kinsiu Maru's passengers and crew. Two captains and three lieutenants were among the soldiers drowned. The survivors succeded in getting ashore and were conveyed by steamer to Gensan. The official reports agree hi placing the number of men lost at seventy- five. It is not known how many Japanese the Russians took from the ship or rescued after she began sink- inug. It is possible that more sur­ vivors will be found, as one of the Kinshiu Maru's boats is still missing. Trade in the Orient. The United States sells annually in the countries now in the war zone $49,970,000 and buys from them $72,- 320,000. Russian Commander Admits His Losses Were Heavy Gt. Petersburg, May 2.--The general staff account of the operations on the Yalu river is as follows: "At 4 o'clock FOUGHT WITH CHARLES DICKENS Southern Hotel Proprietor Resented Author's Discourtesy. There is living in Louisville, Ky., Josh Hutchinson, a negro, who saw the encounter between Col. Throck­ morton, proprietor of the Gait house, and Charles Dickens, when the lat­ ter was a guest there. Throckmorton was a most hospitable landlord, and, out of courtesy to his distinguished visitor, went personally to his room to see if he needed anything. Dick­ ens, who was writing, gruffly told him to come in. When Throckmor­ ton asked him if there was anything he needed, Dickens churlishly an­ swered, "No! Not a thing!" and went on with his writing. The land­ lord, beginning to get angry, but thinking he might have been misun­ derstood, again asked Dickens if there was anything he could do for him. Dickens turned and looked at Throck­ morton as though he were a bellboy, then yelled: "If there is anything I want I'll ring for it! You may go!" Throckmorton walked quickly over to Di&ens, grasped his coat collar and s A rest house on the ice far out on Lake Baikal. pulled him out of the chair.

I wanted to knock about a little more. But after we got, home from the theater and sat in the parlor discussing the plot of the play, I ventured out on thin ice and broke through before I knew where I was. It came as a deuce of a shock, just as I should imagine break­ ing through real ice would be. "But Jessie was all ready for me. She was expecting it. First thing I knew she had me by the collar and landed me on safe ground again--but I was engaged. No doubt about that. Anyhow, I'm glad I've got her. Might have lost her through some slip if I'd waited. But I don't want to read any more stuff about bashful fellows stam­ mering out proposals. It's all too easy."
